Police said employees at the Tuscany apartment complex stumbled into a murder scene during a routine maintenance check.

While authorities aren't revealing a lot of information, Action 7 News talked with one neighbor who believes he saw and spoke to the killer.

"He was pacing like he was nervous," said Joseph Ortega, who said he lent two screwdrivers to a suspicious man on Monday. "Something was up."

The man pried open the door where the body was later found, Ortega said.

"The guy came back and he was all, 'Here's your screwdrivers,' and his hands were all bloody," Ortega said.

Ortega said he thought nothing of it at the time, because he had seen the man with tenants in the past.

Police wouldn't comment on Ortega's credibility.

At this point, the body has not been identified, but only one tenant was listed in the apartment, according to Ortega.

A car, which may or may not be the victim's, was found at a rest stop just south of Santa Fe on Wednesday night, according to the New Mexico state police.
